[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

Southern Sichuan Valley.

The forest is dense and moist.

They wandered around the woods for two or three days but still found no trace of human habitation.Because we had to avoid being tracked, we couldn't light a fire to keep warm, and we couldn't eat cooked food.In the dense forest where there were many mosquitoes, they endured three days of eating military grain pills and drinking three days of raw water.

"I can't stand it anymore..." Hinata Qing staggered to the forest clearing with a look of exhaustion.His teammates and teachers had finished eating the wild fruits and were resting against the tree trunk without saying a word.

"Hinata, can you still hold on?" Hayata Yu who was on the side helped him sit down and handed him a peeled wild fruit.

"I think he is almost dehydrated." Looking at Hinata Qing's pale face, she felt that diarrhea was not a big problem, but dehydration would...

"Can't you expect me to order well?" Hinata Qing replied angrily, the bitter taste of wild fruits exploding in his mouth.

"I am telling the truth."

"You are also from a big family, how come you are so comfortable in the woods?" He didn't understand. The teacher could be said to be experienced, but Yu Hayata was a low-level person, allowing him to eat anything.How could a girl in Uchiha be more resistant than him?

"I'm not a hothouse flower. I grew up in the forest." After fighting several times in the village, her relationship with Hinata Qing had become such that she refused to admit defeat.

She loses more in fights than she wins, and she never loses face in arguments.

"Next step, what do you think we should search for?" Sarutobi Kino, who was not allowed to smoke when on a mission and habitually took a piece of grass in his mouth, was puzzled.They searched for habitable flat lands, valleys, and even flat mountain tops.There are absolutely no traces of human habitation.

"Zhenxiemen, why can't we find such a big village?" Even after using the two major pupil techniques, they didn't find any living creatures except some curious little animals.

"Maybe there is something blocking the view." Hayata Yu felt that they should have overlooked something.

"Come on, there must be someone there if there is water." Wrap the ground herbs in paper and throw it towards Hinata Qing, smiling as he watches the other party catch it hurriedly.

"Hey, throw something and say hello, Red-Eyed Rabbit!" You can't curse people by their names when you're on a mission, so it's a good thing he came up with this nickname.

"Ah, you can catch it, White Eyed Wolf."

"We have followed this river twice and found nothing."

"Senior, there is a waterfall here."

As soon as the words came out, I immediately got three naked looks - why didn't you tell me earlier? !

"..."

"How do you know there is a waterfall?" Sarutobi Kino was curious.

"I just learned about it, Nuo." The palms of my hands that had just ground the herbs were full of green juice. "Zhichang, crushed and swallowed can relieve gastroenteritis and diarrhea. It likes dampness and heat. It grows near waterfalls with plenty of water mist."

Large expanses of green grass covered the surrounding ground.

There must be a waterfall here.Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Plants are more honest than the human eye.

"Let's find out what's blinding us."

The moonlight at night is dim, and the forest is full of tiny fireflies.Holding back the itch, he looked at his teammates lurking nearby.Still, he was much more dedicated than she was.

Since they couldn't see it during the day, they had adjusted their schedules in the past few days and kept watch at night, fearing they would miss any clues.

This is the fifth day. If she keeps waiting, she really hasn't taken a shower for ten days!

The breeze in the forest was blowing, and even the fireflies were blown to one side. There was not a single firefly on the other side of the river.

At this moment, there was a flash of light, like the reflection of moonlight falling on the river.In that brief moment, she heard a huge sound of water flowing.

But it was only for a moment, the light and shadow floated, and the sound disappeared.

What appeared on the spot were a few people dressed as villagers.

Looking at Sarutobi-sensei in the darkness, she signaled to stay still, and she stayed obediently in the bushes.

Unlike her, the other two teammates secretly followed the retreating villagers. She couldn't help but yawn lightly. She was so sleepy, she couldn't help it.

After eight hundred rounds of arguing with Duke Zhou, the two teammates finally returned and signaled that the group of people had returned.

She cheered up and stared at the leading villager.Sure enough, he fumbled and made a hand seal.

Another burst of light and shadow floated, bringing with it the familiar sound of water flowing.After a while, the forest returned to calm, and the villagers carrying supplies disappeared.

The teacher, who was almost integrated with the dark night, moved and jumped down from the branch.

"Did you see everything clearly?"

"Well, the copy has been downloaded. You can take action at any time." The girl in the bush had a pair of red eyes, and her two magatama had just stopped rotating.

"Teacher, shall we go in now?" The two boys who followed were in high spirits.

"Wait a little longer."

A quarter of an hour later, the team that had packed their bags stood again at the place where those people disappeared.

"Ready?"

"Ah."

"don’t worry."

"Seal with peace of mind, no matter how many come up, we will help you knock them down."

It feels so good to be trusted and protected.

The pupils behind the black lenses were vaguely red, after finishing the copying technique.

The roaring sound of water and the oncoming water mist blurred my vision.

The teammates behind her did not take action and seemed to be very confident in this formation. No one was guarding the entrance.

There is indeed a huge waterfall in front of us. After swimming through a section of biting water, there is a cave behind the waterfall.Entering along the deep entrance of the cave, after walking for more than ten miles, you can see the light and faint voices in front of you.

The four people who had confirmed the order dispersed and quietly blended into the singing and dancing crowd.

After dragging the unconscious girl to a dark place and hiding her, Izumi Uchiha, who transformed into her appearance, picked up the basket and entered the most luxurious bamboo house in the village.

Under the warm light of the candle, the gentle woman was coaxing a little baby and didn't pay much attention to her walking in.

The woman had dark skin and gorgeous red curly hair.She's a beauty, but she's obviously not from here.

"Put it there, sir. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Do you have anything to say?Of course she doesn't know.

Seeing the girl shaking her head, the woman sighed, "Okay, I'll go find him myself. Thank you for your hard work. It's been hot these days, can you still sleep?"

"Yeah." If she continued to ask, she felt like she was about to reveal her secret.

"Madam, after you drink the medicine, you should rest quickly. Tomorrow is the full moon banquet, and the master said he won't come over today." A girl who walked in behind carelessly held her hand and walked out.

"Okay, you guys should go to bed early."

"Xiaoyue, what are you doing standing still? If you don't sleep well today, you will be exhausted tomorrow."

In a stilted building on the edge of the village, Izumi Uchiha stood by the window and accepted a firefly that flew over.

It seems that everyone has received the same information. Tomorrow is the full moon banquet of Mr. Zhaizi’s youngest son. If there are many people, it will be easier to take action.

He looked back at the girl who had pulled her back to sleep with her. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face. She was sleeping soundly at the moment, and she didn't notice that her companion had left the bed.

Fortunately, she is an ordinary person and is not the target of their attacks.

In the early morning of the next day, the village slowly woke up to the sound of cockcrows.The busy villagers began to prepare for the banquet in an orderly manner. Those who set up the stove, carried the table, hung the red cloth, and moved the wine jar. Xiaoyue, who was extremely busy, took the note from the man carrying the table.Taking advantage of the break to go to the toilet, she unfolded it and saw that it was a simple drawing. It was obviously the most luxurious room in the village. There were two numbers marked on the lower right: 8, 12, and 6.

At 8 o'clock tonight, 12 people gathered here, including 6 ninjas.

"Are you okay? I'm worried!"

"Okay, okay!" Crushing the note in her palm, she greeted him with a smile.

"Eh? Xiaoyue, why are you here? Didn't you faint and be treated?"

Oops!

Click - there was a sharp sound, and there was no sound before the confused girl had time to ask her next question.

"Don't expose yourself when you do things." Yu Hayata, who took action, is now a 7-year-old boy. "Let's look like her."

Looking at the roommate she slept with yesterday, she hesitated for a moment and then changed into another appearance.

"Over there at the medical center..."

"Hinata went to deal with it."

She didn't want to kill that person, she thought she would just knock him out, but now she has harmed more people.

"If you don't want to kill more people, just complete the task quickly."

"I understand." There are many people in the village, so we can't drag our teammates into the water.

The toilet is built on the cliff, and behind it is a rare steep cliff.At this time, the night sky was like ink, and the sparse starlight could not see the expressions on the two people's faces.

Everything that happened in a remote corner was ignored by the busy and happy people.

As night falls, the banquet is about to begin.

The mission is about to begin.

After setting out the wine and serving the food.The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes touched his beard, said a few words, and then led a group of adults back downstairs.He left his wife and young son to entertain the guests at the banquet.While they were drinking and drinking, a round-faced maid silently stayed by Madam's side.

Seeing several familiar figures in the dark walking in the intended direction, she couldn't help but feel impatient, always trying to think of a reasonable excuse to leave.

The woman holding the child seemed to have met her soulmate, and they were chatting happily, but she was afraid of waking up the sleeping baby in her arms.

"Xiao Yuan," the woman's face under the candlelight said softly, "Yao'er is asleep. Take him back. I'll be back soon."

"Okay," the girl took the swaddled baby and silently walked back to the bamboo house.Although he was clumsy in the hug, luckily he was a lazy sleeper and didn't make any other noise.

Gently putting the baby back into the slightly shaking cradle, he relieved the heavy weight from his hands.There was another heaviness in my heart.

When the girl calmed down and jumped out of the window, she looked completely different when she landed.

The bamboo building she came out of was very close to the mission site, and it didn't take long for her to see her companions in a hidden corner.After confirming each other with gestures, she also listened carefully to the movements in the bamboo house.

"Every other information about your country is easy to tell, but this..."

"Valley Master, just tell me a price. We've wanted something for a long time."

"It's not a matter of price. Konoha's core secrets are not that easy to steal."

Core secret?The teacher clearly said that this mission was just to kill the target person and destroy the secret cooperation between the two parties.And the memory she stole from the lock ninja's mind only contained the time and place of the meeting.If it was just general information, that would be fine. If the other party wanted more than they imagined, then...she closed her eyes.

In the bamboo house, the village owner with a beard sat quietly aside. The person sitting in the main seat was the valley owner whose face could not be seen clearly. The person opposite had a dark complexion and was probably a ninja from the Kingdom of Thunder.

"It's not a difficult matter. We only need a few living people."

"But this living person... what you want is one with blood inheritance limits."

"We don't ask for much, just eye skills."

"The backlash from the Uchiha family is too strong, so it can only be communicated between relatives. The Hinata family is very suitable."

"Whether it's a living person or a corpse, as long as it can be used for our research."

She was eavesdropping carefully and didn't notice that Yu Hayata had quietly left in the corner.

Listening further, the two parties seemed to have reached a price and were about to sign the agreement——

There was a commotion outside the bamboo building. A woman with curly red hair opened the door and shouted, "Sir, please let our Yao'er go. He is still a child."

"What are you doing here? Are you crazy?" The old village leader obviously didn't expect that his beloved wife could do such a thing.

"What's going on? Yoshiko got married here not long ago, is there anything you don't like about it?" Yun Ren, who was leading the team, obviously knew this woman.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and was a little stiff when she turned around, but she still said the words she had set out to say: "Uncle, leave quickly, they are going to break the contract!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

When Yun Ren, who was leading the team, was surprised, the village leader across the table slapped the table, "Yangzi, you..." Before he could finish his words, a kunai appeared out of nowhere and hit the woman's heart, and bright red blood immediately spurted out. out.

Does the other party want to kill people and silence them?

The leader of the team, Yun Ren, couldn't help it immediately, drew his sword and rushed towards the opponent.

There was chaos, and the two sides who had been chatting happily a few minutes ago had drawn swords at each other.

In the melee, the three people who took the opportunity to harvest their lives quickly changed the situation.More and more Kumo ninjas fell.

"How dare you lead ninjas!" Everyone around him died one by one. The cloud ninja who led the team also felt that he had been tricked and immediately began to retreat.

The Valley Master who wanted to explain clearly was entangled by Sarutobi-sensei, and during the fight, the two climbed out of the window.Not long after, she also solved the target person this time - the leader of the village who had no ninjutsu.

With a "Peng" sound, the Valley Master who had been hiding for a long time turned into a puff of smoke. It turned out to be a shadow clone.

Sarutobi Kino turned around immediately. He was able to hide from him for so long before revealing his true identity. This person was not an easy person. They had to retreat before the other party came back.

The banquet in the distance has turned into a Shura field. The retreating cloud ninjas killed many people when they passed by. The festive red cloth caught fire, and a celebration eventually turned into a massacre.The frightened people fled in all directions, but the most luxurious bamboo building was brightly lit and no one shouted.

"Child...my child." Except for the three people, there was no one alive in the room. The gasping woman struggled to die, her beautiful eyes staring at a certain corner.The spread red curly hair was mixed with blood, dripping down along the green gaps of the bamboo building.

In the corner, Yu Hayata watched calmly. He couldn't move when he used the secret technique just now.The ink mark of the baby in his arms gradually faded with the death of his mother.

Since he wanted to retreat, he neatly raised the kunai in his hand and aimed it at the baby's eyebrows.

"No!" Using all the strength in her life, she grabbed Yu Hayata's wrist.

"Stop pretending to be kind. You killed his father, and I killed his mother. To cut the grass, we must remove the roots."

His eyes were gloomy, with a hint of coldness and determination.

Her brows were furrowed, with a look of determination and denial.

"Come on, a group of people are coming." Hinata Qing, who had just come in from outside the house, broke the stalemate between the two.

After hearing this, Hayata Yu's strength became a little stronger.Just when he was about to succeed, another pair of calloused hands removed his kunai.

"The children are innocent, let's go quickly." Sarutobi Kino picked up the two people who were in a stalemate, one in each hand, jumped out of the window, and started running away.

Being grabbed by the collar at the back of his neck, Izumi Uchiha watched Hinata Qing put the crying baby back next to the dead woman.

Although her face was covered by her crazy long hair, Hinata Qing, who was following behind, still felt that his teammate was about to cry.
